To ask how to reassure DD about this?

[Likeadiamondintheskyatnight]

DD’s favourite soft toy is a Minnie Mouse from Walt Disney world in Florida.
all day she’s been upset and complaining that Minnie is “broke”. I keep telling her that Minnie isn’t broke and I’ve even checked Minnie just to be sure! But she’s literally in floods of tears saying Minnie is broke! What do I do?!

If she thinks things always get broken by sitting on them can you demonstrate that that isn't always the case and sit on a few of your own things to show her? This sort of logic is what I would use with my son with ASD rather than making up fake stories about it getting better/pretending to sew it up or whatever. He wouldn't fall for fake explanations.

Also I wouldn't behave around her as if this is somehow your fault as it isn't, be gentle but be honest. How is her comprehension? - if she will understand I would tell her that she is very worried about Minnie so her brain is playing a bit of a trick on her and Minnie's ear feels different and loose to her because she is feeling so anxious and worried about it. I think she might be projecting her fears onto Minnie and I explained some issues caused by anxiety to my son in this way.

I'm autistic and I would think what @NanaNelly suggests.
What would happen if you ask your DD what Minnie thinks would help?

How was last night, OP?
